Difficulty in Urination After Childbirth? Try Massaging the Guanyuan Point Below the Navel! A Warm-hearted Netizen (Taste of Life, QQ: 769735389): Hello, friend! I’d like to share a method through you to help patients who struggle with postpartum urinary retention. This technique involves massaging the area below the navel and has proven effective on the spot. During a visit to the gynecology department, I heard about a new mother who was supposed to be discharged two days ago but couldn’t leave due to her inability to urinate. She relied on a catheter, and the doctor explained that prolonged labor had compressed her nerves. Home remedies like applying compresses to the navel or listening to running water had little effect. The method I observed involves applying firm pressure to the Guanyuan point below the navel (pressing as hard as possible toward the spine). This immediately created the urge to urinate, though no urine was initially released. After repeating the technique, about a liter of urine was successfully expelled. The patient and her family were overjoyed and hoped this method could be shared with others in need. Contributor: Anonymous
